An Incident Of the War.

Fred Common writes to the National
Tribune at Washington and relates
this amusing incident of war times:
We had gone into winter quarters at
w. Va. Some recruits
had arrived for the thirty-six Ohio,
and one OF them was finding fault with
the government for not putting more
pockets In his blouse. 1t happened
that the wife of Gen. r. B. Hayes was
on g. visit to the eeneral, and was
stopping at headquarters. Some of
the boys told the grumbler that he
could get pocket put in his blouse;
that Gen. Hayes kept a seamstress at
headquarters on purpose to patch
their clothes and sew on buttons,
eyes," said one, "the general is al
ways on the lookout for tho welfare
OF his mon. Only the other day
he had a man arrested for sew
ing on some buttons. The idea of
q soldier patching his clothes when
the general has woman for
that purpose. If you want another
pocket in your blouse take it to the
general. you will find the lady there.
Tell them what you want and you
will soon get it," He was soon on
his way to headquarters, while we
watched to see the fun. The recruit
marched up and the general retur ned
his salute and said: "Well, my good
man, what can l do for you?" 'Gen-
eral, the boys told me there was a
woman here to sew for the soldiers,
and l wanted to get a pocket put in
this blouse" Before the general
could answer, Mrs. Hayes spoke up
aud said; Certainly, certainly; leave
your blouse for an hour or so and you
shall have pocket in it," When the
soldier returned with the pocket in
his blouse, and the boys told him
who the lady was We realized that we
had carried the joke to far.

Granting an Unmade REQUEST,

Granting an Unmade Request.
The wife of Justice Field lately told
this little story about Edwin M. STAN
ton, the war secretary, writes q Wash.
inston correspondent of the New York
Tribune. In the first days of the war
Mrs. Field gave a dinner party, and
the secretary was one of the guests.
The ladies at the table, one by one,
began to ask favors of the head of the
then most powerful department of the
government. Mr.. Stanton listened,
but made no reply, and encouraged
none. Finally he turned to the hos
tess and said: "Have you nothing to
ask for?" She had not spoken, and
had not thought of anything she de-
sired at his hands. But she answer
ed: "When have favor to ask, it
will be for brave and deserving ofic-
er. The next day an orderly called at
Justice Fields house with this mes
sage from the secretary: "Will Mrs.
Field kindly name the officer to whom
she referred last EVENING"" After search
ing her memory, she thought of q
young lieutenant buried at post
where neither glory nor danger was
within reach. The orderly went back
with the note of thanks and tho Young
mans name. That lieutenant came
out OF the war a major-general.

One of Lambs Letters.

These letters are rich in sterling
sense, as we'll as poetic gossip and
friendly badinage. Barton at one time
was tempted, as SO many have been
and will be again. to leave "the drudg-
cry of the desks dead wood" and be-
take himself to literature as liveli'
hood.
"Throw yourself on the world"
cries Lamb, without any rational
plan OF support, beyond what the
chance employ of booksellers would
afford you!! Throw yourself rather,
my dear sir, from the steep Tarpeian
rock, slap.dash headlong upon iron
spikes. If you had but five consola-
tory minutes between the desk and
the bed, making much of them, and
live a century in them rather than
turn slave to the booksellers. Keep to
the bank and the bank will keep you.

Approve tho Kni4hts OF Labor,

ROME, March 1.-The American bishops
take q favorable view Of the Knights OF
Labor. Cardinal Gibbons has placed before
the Vatican formal statement as to the nat
ure OF the organization and the attitude
the church should adopt toward it. The
cardinal says in this:
He considers any condemnation of the Knights
be not only useless, but highly inopportune, and
it might ALLEVIATE the sympathy of the American
labortng classes from the church and hamper
the mission of the church to the laboring poor
The prlmate treats alarmtst theories respecting
the knights OF Labor as puertlc aud says that

organization ere Catholics. It ia not secret So
and consequently exempt from canonical CEN

siders the organization Of the Knights of Labor
in the United States not only harmless, but pos.
sibly beneficial In assisting In the eventual set
tlement Of the great question of the proper rela-
lions between labor and capital.

The "agnostic" is one who processes
utter ignorance of the spiritual world,
and claims that nothing can be known
of a personal Deity. The word Tag
nostlcism," after considerable re-
search has been traced to Professor
Huxley, who originated and first used
it publicly in 1859. A writer in the
quarterly review of January, 1874, in
describing the views of James Mill,
gave without intending it g. very good
definition of agnosticlsm. Speaking
of Mill, the writer says, "He repudi-
ated all inquiry into the causation
and origin of the world, all question
Of the whence and whittier as hopeless

to use the following formula when he
marries a couple: "Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, on earth as
it is done in heaven; do you so promise
me as to live together in the holy
odency of wedlock as JACOB, Isaac,

or hold their peace, for Thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the
